IMPORTANT: DENG PICKED ME UP IN #2605 AT 12:35 P.M.: Tapping into the ALOTT5MA hive mind here with a travel-related question: Why do blank cab receipts have all the wrong information? There's no room for the passenger's name or a client billing number/identifier, but there are always blanks for cab number, driver name, and time. Are there not enough billable-hour lawyers and consultants and accountants taking cabs to make a client-identifier field useful?

(If you can answer that one, then move on to the bonus round: what malformed person designed the Delta seat backs -- fence-post upright with a sack of rice bolted right where your head should go?)

1 comment:

  1. I always thought the receipts were printed to insure that the cab company could, if asked, check what you reported on your receipt against the information that the drivers/company are required to keep in their logs.  All that blank space on the back is a good spot for client information.

    ...and don't get me started about airline seating.  ugh.
